About Fiona

Fiona is a resilient soul who was once found as a stray with a heavy chain embedded in her neck, leaving her with a scar that tells her story. Despite this past, she remains hopeful and eager to trust again. Fiona is slow to warm up, but once she knows she’s safe, she’ll snuggle right into your lap for affection. She’s already learned commands like sit and shake, and if she needs to go outside, she’ll let you know by whining at her kennel. Fiona is searching for a loving family willing to help her heal both physically and emotionally. Come and meet this brave girl! Ready to make a difference in Fiona's life? Apply now!
